Carnegie Council Podcasts

Ahead of the AI for Information Accessibility Conference 2024 and the roll-out of the Caribbean AI Policy Roadmap, Carnegie Council and the UNESCO Information for All Programme Working Group on Information Accessibility hosted a panel of diverse speakers on AI ethics and policymaking in the digital age.

From Jamaica to Canada to Ukraine and beyond, how can citizens, civic institutions, and industry professionals work together to make sure that emerging technologies are accessible for everyone? What are common roadblocks that policymakers have to work through? And what are the principles that we all should keep in mind when thinking about responsibly using AI and other emerging technological systems?
